Thinking in Time: Cognition, Communication and Learning
Thinking in Time: Cognition, Communication, and Learning (CCL) is a multidisciplinary research center at Lund University. We study the physiological and cognitive bases of language and communication with special focus on temporal processing. Our goal is to provide a description of timing and sequencing of language and cognition - from the millisecond perceptions at the cellular level, to the long-term development of words and concepts.
The following areas are studied within CCL:
- How humans, in particular children, learn concepts and to understand the words of a language – and also how the concepts of an individual change over time.
- How the structure of language and the surrounding culture affect learning and attention – and how this is manifested in speech and writing.
- How the ability to read the thought and emotions of others, for example during a conversation, affects communication and learning.
- How different kinds of disabilities and language disorders influence the timing of communication and how this can be tied to memory capacities.
- How temporal processes operate in neurons during different forms of learning.
- How the capacity of the brain to simulate actions and utterances, before they are performed, influences the ability to plan and communicate.
